Newington’s terminals and the bulk yard to the north
West of Mount Vernon, NEWINGTON and NEWINGTON 2 stand 4.6 and 4.8 miles out, both petroleum product terminals on the Energy Information Administration’s list. If your tractor has pulled fuel out of Newington, tell us whether the tank trailer goes with it or stays behind, so we know what is being collected.
Some 6.3 miles north, Norfolk Southern TBT appears in Bureau of Transportation Statistics records as a liquid bulk terminal. A tractor that shuttles between that yard and Newington may be parked at either end of the run; give us the exact gate address and the name of whoever can let us in.
Photograph the cab, the fifth wheel, the frame rails and the data plate for any truck that has worked these terminals, and send the VIN with the pictures. Site passes and terminal paperwork can stay in the glovebox for the driver who collects it.
Two installations: Fort Belvoir to the west, Mark Center to the north
Fort Belvoir, a military installation 3 miles west according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is the closest large site to town. If your truck delivers onto the base, tell us the off-post address where it is parked between jobs, since that is where our driver will go.
Mark Center, the second military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics places near here, lies 8.1 miles north. If your truck is kept near either installation, check that the plates and registration are current, since the collecting driver will carry both documents on the way out.
If you kept service invoices from work at either installation, scan or photograph them and send them in with the title so the record arrives in one message.
GRAHAM-VIRGINIA, a crushed-stone quarry the Mine Safety and Health Administration records 8.5 miles west, is the nearest pit to town, and the Manassas quarry lies 22.7 miles out in the same direction. Dump trucks and tractors pulling aggregate trailers that load at either one are among the trucks we buy.
For a dump truck that stays at a quarry lot, name the pit and the person at the scale house who can point our driver to it. Send a photo of the bed raised and lowered as well as the cab and the VIN plate.
The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns counts 59 construction establishments for the area, and in the LEHD job counts construction held 215 of 2,435 local jobs in 2023, an 8.8 percent share. If your truck belonged to one of those builders, have the title in the company’s name signed by someone authorised to sign for it.
Freight, refuse, dry bulk and reefers from local carriers
FMCSA’s carrier census shows 95 active carriers based around Mount Vernon: 58 list general freight, 14 garbage and refuse, 12 dry bulk commodities and 9 refrigerated food. A box truck, a roll-off, a dry bulk tractor or a reefer unit from any of those operations is a truck we collect here.
Of those 95, the same federal census records 65 interstate operators, 30 that stay inside Virginia and 23 private fleets hauling their own goods. An intrastate truck still needs its Virginia title in hand; if it is lost, request a duplicate from Virginia’s title agency before the pickup is booked.
New registrations ran at 7 carriers in 2024 and 7 again in 2025 according to FMCSA. If you started your authority recently and are selling the truck now, have the bill of sale or lien release from the purchase with you, along with the title.
Fleet sizes, driving range and model years
The three biggest operations FMCSA lists here run 14 power units with 14 drivers, 5 with 7 drivers, and 5 with 4. Selling several trucks from a yard that size? List each VIN and where each unit is parked, and we can collect them on one visit.
Drivers registered with these carriers split 124 working within 100 miles and 62 going further, per FMCSA. A long-haul truck may be out of state when you decide to sell, so tell us its location on the day you contact us and we will collect it there.
Across 40 local carriers, FMCSA figures put the median at 36,571 miles a truck per year. Roadside inspection records from FMCSA covered 60 trucks between September 2024 and August 2026, with a median model year of 2016.5 and 45 percent ten or more years old; whatever year yours is, the odometer reading and the VIN are the first two things we ask for.
Horse and nursery ground
Horse properties, nurseries and beehives near Mount Vernon
Horse operations top the list for the county’s 77 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, followed by potted flowering plants and then honey. A truck kept on a horse property or at a nursery is one we collect from the farm itself.
A farm-plated truck here still goes on its Virginia title, so have it found before you call. Tell us which gate or barn the truck sits behind and whether a trailer or hitch stays with the property.
The questions we get asked in Mount Vernon
- My tractor sits at the second Newington terminal between fuel runs; does it need hauling back to Mount Vernon first?Newington’s two petroleum product terminals sit 4.6 and 4.8 miles west on Energy Information Administration listings, and we collect there. Say which of the two Newington terminals it is at and who on site can walk our driver to it.
- Which documents should I gather before selling a truck kept in Mount Vernon?Mount Vernon trucks are titled in Virginia, so the title in your name, or a duplicate from Virginia’s title agency if it is lost, comes first. Add the registration, any lien release and the VIN.
- Do you buy refuse trucks from here?FMCSA’s carrier census shows 14 Mount Vernon area carriers hauling garbage and refuse, and their trucks are on our list. Photograph the packer body and the cab, and include the VIN and the street where the truck is kept.
